Had to replace my exhaust the other day courtesy of a sharp speed bump.

Couldn't find one at a wrecker to had to fork out $220 to get a muffler joint to do it. After the bloke spending 20 minutes trying to sell me a sports exhaust, which wasn't available for the Fairlane, he finally got down and did the job. Unfortunately the car's been missing ever since (as in engine wise, not dissappeared) and I haven't had the chance to look at it.

I trust mechanics/automotive industry people (apologies to any trustworthy ones that are reading this) about as much as I trust doctors.

Who invented speed bumps anyway?

You should try some good quality self adhesive velcro. That should keep the sub in the one place! Either that or contract a bulldozer and flatten the speed bump...

Speed humps are definitely a curse. Even my car has been known to scrape and it's not low at all.

About the missing, it could be an O2 sensor or something? I don't know.

my dad's econovan can take speed humps at 60 and its actually more confortable than at 10. truck suspension and tires have their uses :)
